Hyndsight Adds Recording Feature to Vision System

A new recording version for its Journey wire-free vision system is being introduced by Hyndsight Vision Systems. Capture users will have the ability to record simultaneously, while still providing real-time video stream, remote on/off capability, and high-definition recording quality that can be stored on a 32 MB SD card. It is also ideal for monitoring livestock trailers during transportation.

Components of the Capture kit, which retails for $599, include a custom-designed camera and monitor with a sunlight-readable screen, antenna set, and two mounts in a solid case. It’s rugged, water-resistant, and provides a real-to-life visual field. The system provides real-time recording and video stream simultaneously through a direct wire-free connection (camera to monitor) and a clear image that can transmit up to .33 mile with direct line of sight.

Capture can be mounted anywhere with the ability to pair up to four cameras per monitor with each camera having separate recording capability. To effectively eliminate blind spots, Capture can be positioned for both rear and side viewing on heavy farm equipment that needs to be closely monitored.

It has a three- to four-hour battery life before it needs to be charged, or it can be optionally powered by a battery accessory pack or solar pack. Three different lens angles are integrated into one camera, which can be selected with the push of a button.

“While Journey has enjoyed tremendous popularity in the agriculture industry, many of our customers have encouraged us to develop a system that also has recording capability,” says Melissa Thompson, CEO of Hyndsight. “Obstructed vision and blind spots are major problems in agriculture, and Capture provides drivers with a clear field of vision preventing safety issues, while maximizing productivity and profitability.”
